There isn’t much to grab onto out there when you need a good Thanksgiving themed movie. Off the top of my head there’s “Son in Law” with Pauly Shore. “Dutch” with Ed O’Neil. We got a new Eli Roth “Thanksgiving” slasher. The musical documentary “The Last Waltz” took place on Thanksgiving. “Hannah and Her Sisters” works but we’re not gonna make Angela watch any Woody Allen just yet. There is one that has risen up over the limited pack and it has slowly become one of John Hughes most well regarded movies despite it not having any teenagers making dramatic speeches. We’re breaking the Steve Martin threshold with what might be the most well regarded Thanksgiving themed movie, “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” from 1987. Uptight Neal Pierce and friendly salesman slob Dell Griffith (played by the late, great John Candy)  wind up in each others company when a plane reroutes and lands them in Wichita causing them to scramble to get Neal home by Thanksgiving. I’ll let you guess what kind of vehicles they use on their journey. We got some distinct complaints and some high compliments in this warm holiday fare where Steve Martin does plenty of “fucking”. Chug it down like warm gravy with us.

**This is a COMMENTARY meant to be played whilst watching the movie** 

With Thanksgiving only days away, we've arrived at the dreaded holiday travel season. 

So in honor of family dinners, delayed flights, and shower curtain rings, we did a commentary track for Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I’m not stupid, I’m not clueless
I just like to turn a blind eye
You’re chattin’ it up, shootin’ the shit
Like I can’t see you in my headlights, baby

Tell me what a girl gotta do, what a girl gotta do
What a girl gotta do to make you come my way
Tell me what a girl gotta do, what a girl gotta do
What a girl gotta do, I’ll make you come my way

Feeling me, feeling U, oh no
Feeling me feeling you too

I’m not stupid, I always knew it
I can read your body language
I look in your eyes, you’re trying to lie again
Hoping time will mend all that is broken, baby

Tell me what a girl gotta do, what a girl gotta do
What a girl gotta do to make you come my way
Tell me what a girl gotta do, what a girl gotta do
What a girl gotta do, I’ll make you come my way

Feeling me, feeling U, oh no
Feeling me feeling you too

Come my way
Come my way

You’re killin’ me (Come my way)
You’re killin’ me (Come my way)

Feeling me, feeling U, oh no
Feeling me feeling you

Death to all traitors

A weekly podcast where two self-proclaimed film nerds talk movies. That's right, another movie podcast.

Throughout each episode, we assign point values for different categories to arrive at a final score. Then we surprise our co-host (and our listeners) with the next week's movie. On the last week of every month, we randomly select a film suggestion from our listeners!

We never know what we'll be talking about the next week! Shenanigans ensue.
